Summary of Recent Federal Reserve Statements on Interest Rates:

  • Mary Daly (President, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco): Considers three rate cuts to be a reasonable baseline. Cautioned that rates could stay higher if inflation remains elevated or be cut sooner if the labor market weakens.
  • Raphael Bostic (President, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta): Predicts one rate cut, likely in the fourth quarter. Based on expectations of economic robustness, declining inflation, and positive GDP and employment trends.
  • Fed Governor Christopher Waller: Recent data led him to delay rate cut expectations. Advocates maintaining the current restrictive rate stance to support sustainable inflation toward the 2% target.
  • Increasing Disagreement: Despite unanimous recent decisions, differing public remarks among policymakers create uncertainty.

In summary, while the Fed aims to strike the right balance, uncertainty persists due to varying viewpoints among policymakers.
